ESDS Project

The Energy Solutions for Displacement Settings (SUN-ESDS) is a component of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned Global SUN Programme with UNHCR. The Global Programme supports UNHCR in facilitating the operationalisation of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus.

The SUN-ESDS project contributes to UNHCR’s Clean Energy Challenge with the aim to support UNHCR technically and strategically on the implementation of its energy strategy 2019-2025, which aims to enable refugees, host communities and people of concern to meet their energy needs in a safe and sustainable way. The project works on innovative energy approaches and disseminates lessons learnt from measures implemented in three pilot countries.
